My outbound flight will be breakfast time, my return dinner.

Many thanks.

Nasi Lemak (same as Business Class side but of course it's plated for you), Kaya (Coconut Jam) Toast with runny eggs for breakfast a few days ago (there was a third option but I forgot that one)

There was a Beef Hamburg (Japanese style beef patty with miso mustard sauce) and Soy Marinated Salmon (with Hokkien Noodles and Kai-Lan [Chinese Kale]) made to order a few weeks ago for lunch/dinner. I believe there were other options (laksa or another noodle dish) as well but I think those are similar to those of Business Class.

Yes, by rules, MH gold let you bring one guest, child over age 2 consider as one guest.

However, sometimes the contracted lounge might unsure if MH gold/OW sapphire/OW emerald lounge access rule. So, you can prepare a screenshot of Enrich gold on lounge access to show to them. This happens to me when I was in Manchester Escape Plus Lounge. However, the staff was very kind enough to make a call to confirm my sapphire status allow me to bring a guest in.
